    Rifle Scopes Crossover scopes TT, March and Minox

    What does frustrate me a bit is that March gives you different stadia in the FMA-3 and FML-PDK variants than the FML-TR1 and FML-3. If you look here the difference is obvious. The stadia/crosshairs on the former two variants thicken and continue nearly to edge of the FoV at 4.5x. The latter...

    Rifle Scopes Best hunting scope around 3k

    You're not in the wrong yet, but you will be once you get more experience and your older, wiser self is angry with your younger self. Seriously, not having a reticle preference is simply reflective of not enough time spent behind the glass. Everyone develops their own over time. You'll start...

    Rifle Scopes Best hunting scope around 3k

    You want one of those so-called cross over optics. Where is @Glassaholic when you need him? ;-) If you were gonna do an ATACR, I'd tell you that for a cross over optic you want the 4-16. It's gonna be lighter, more compact, and generally better in keeping with what you're doing. 10-16x...

    Precision 30-06 builds

    Blasphemy right here... every knows you don't shoot PRS without a looooong barrel and a gun that weighs as much as a small child. ;-)

    Worst Value Optic?

    I am surprised I've only seen the SIG Tango6 line called out once. I thought they were pretty well regarded as being overpriced for what you get - if you're buying new or vic. MAP. They're fine at the right price, but having to look for discontinued, demo, or "used like new" to get value is a...

    NO GUNSMITH Practical Custom Rifle Build

    My whole package is a Proof 20" CF, ARC Nucleus, ARC rail, Manners CS-2 w/ mini-chassis and a 4" rail section up front, TT Special 2-stage. Goes like 7.5 lbs. All up with optic, Atlas CAL, Dead Air Nomad, magazine it's 11.75 lbs. It carries really nicely, in my opinion. With all that stuff...

    TAC OPS / KMW Collaboration

    Oh, don't worry... I'm sure the crew will do its damndest to post envy inducing photos and video once they're in hand.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 vs March 3-24x52 vs Schmidt 3-27x56 - battle of midrange magnification juggernauts

    Thanks for your continued effort on this. There's a small cadre of folks who I trust to review an optic objectively, and it makes a difference for those of us not casually handling $30k+ in glass at any given time.

    6mm ARC bolt gun for competition?

    I see the major benefit over things like 6 BR(and family) or .223 AI / .224 Valk (as it dies out) as the availability of factory ammo. I know everyone loves the 6BR, but damn does it seem like work. Actually, it seems like you're shit out of luck if you don't reload and don't have the right...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    Correct (well, mount at least anyway). I think it's somewhere in this thread being discussed, actually. I was lamenting that I wasn't smart enough to send my rings/scope to Mike to get done up with the rest of the gun. I am sure someone (aka: Mike) can correct me if I am wrong. I keep telling...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    They're just such beautiful guns... it's about as hard being away from my Delta as it is my family. I still gotta figure out what glass I want on the KMW-OPS rifle... could do another March. I figure I should do the smart thing and get it to Mike this time.

    Need Stock/Chassis Advice for Origin Builds

    I built a 6.5 CM (Nucleus, not Origin) with a Proof CF on a Manners CS-2... and would again on a T2 or LRH if it were just for my own use. I greatly prefer stocks generally.... so that's a largely personal thing. I've moved through a fair amount of brush hunting and I do appreciate having fewer...

    Zero Compromise Optic MPCT2X Reticle Design

    I mean, I don't know shit from shinola, but when I saw the MPCT2X reticle my first that was "That! That's what it's supposed to be." I don't know how well it handles wide zoom ranges and low magnification (low light), but man is that clean/legible and intuitive looking.

    TAC OPS / KMW Collaboration

    I’ve got comms with Surgeon and a tracking number… but it would seem my FFL is fucking about. Supposedly sitting on it for more than a week. Gonna do a F2F this week to figure out WTF is going on. Working through some personal friction, I seemingly chose poorly when picking an FFL (despite...

    TAC OPS / KMW Collaboration

    I think mine has hit my FFL based on tracking info. Takes a couple days, sometimes, for them to sort themselves out. Planning on addressing this Monday. Good to know y’all won’t be waiting on me ;-). …or no… just saw a message from Mike that’s says I’m a soup sandwich. I’m… confused. I had...

    What’s spiciest factory 6.5CM load you guys have seen?

    Just use the search function with the term "no pressure signs" and you're guaranteed to find a TON of loads running 70+ ksi and well above book max.

    Surely thou did not just refer to the base color in Godsplaid as "baby shit..." I had thought you a man of culture!

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class Long Range Scope Review - TT, ZCO, Schmidt, March, Vortex

    I think Frank’s point is that beyond $3k you’re paying for name/features, not mechanics/optical quality. It’s like dropping the cash on a Ferrari 458/488 (a dream car of mine)… is it sweet? Hell yeah. Is it top tier performance? Fucking-A right! Will it get crushed at the track by a Corvette C8...

    What am I missing with negative combs?

    Did we necro a thread from a year ago to brag about our own product? Cool.
